he caught sight of the young man.
"Whas are you doing here? Anything
wrong!"
"Nothing 10 wrong that l know of,
SIR" said the young man, coolly.
"Then why are you here without
leave!" asked the junior partner.
"Didn't you get our letter informing you
of our new arrangements?"
II did, Mr.. Parr. 1t is in consequence
OF that letter that l am here" This
was said with considerable gravity, and
Tommy helped himself to chair as he
spoke. ~ am afraid, sir, he continued,
'that cannot accept the situation you
were good enough to offer me in Turin :"
Don't then," burst out old Mr..
hodgson, in great wrath at the tone the
young man was assuming. "We1l find
fifty clerks ready to jump at it-fve
hundred for that matter"
"You forget, SIR" said Tommy, re.
spectfully but firmly, "that ! have been
at Turin for some time, know the bust
ness there, and what came here to pro.
pose was that I should have Q small
share in the firm"
Mr.. Parr stared and calculated,
"What, sir?"
Mr.. Dunford laughed aloud and then
swore.
Mr.; Hodgson choked and gasped for
breath. If q shell had burst in the
room it could not have occasioned more
surprise than Tommy's modest request.
If the sweeper at the next crossing had
demanded to be allowed to help him
self from the drawers under the counter,
it would not have seemed SO absurd as
this demand of the junior clerk.
"Of course, having no capital, expect
only a very small share in the
business, continued Tommy; "but you
will see that as Count Marsoni's son-in-
law"
"What! What? What do you say?"
echoed the partners in various infections.
'As Count Marsonis son. in.law l
should be able to influence a large
amount of business, and it would be
more fitting if my name appeared in the
name of the branch firm"
''Do you mean to say that you are
going to marry that young lady, Count
Marsoni's daughter?" said Mr.. Hodgson,
with wonder, incredulity, and q tinge of
a newborn respect for his clerk
mingling in his countepance.
at is as good as settled, SIR" said
Tommy modestly. ''Of course this is a
private matter, but it is one that would
naturally be taken into account" This
was quite evident, and Tommy. having
made his shot. rose, bowed and with.
drew.
Before half an hour had passed the
firm had taken their resolution. The
share which Tommy was given repre-.
sented little more than a somewhat lib.
eral salary, but he was included as
partner in the branch firm of Hodgson,
Dunford, Mathers & Co., of Turin. As
soon as the partnership deed was drawn
up and executed, Tommy returned to
Italy, and had another interview with
the Count, who, imagining that he had
misconceived the young mans true posi-
tion all along, was politeness itself. The
young partner in the wealthy house of
English bankers was one who might,
without any improperly, be presented
to society as his daughters husband.
Within three months the marriage was
celebrated. Tommy had done the trick.

The Story of u Necklace.

The coral necklace which the Queen
of Italy is said to wear continually has
history. Five years ago the Prince of
Naples, her son, heir apparent to the
throne of Italy, was strolling through
street in Venice, when his eye was
attracted by the necklace in the show
window of jeweler shop. The idea at
once struck him to buy it for his mother,
the Queen. But the price was far be-
yond the capacity of his pocket money,
and, though destined to be King Victor
Emanuel III, he was compelled to ask
the jeweler for credit. The bargain was
that the Prince should buy the necklace,
pearl by pearl, according as he could
save enough from his pocket.money.
On leaving the jeweler shop on the first
occasion the Prince carried away with
him five pearls, which he carefully
guarded. 1t was two years before he
was able to buy the whole necklace.
When the Queen afterwards learned the
secret of the purchase she made resolve
to wear this charming exhibition of her
sons love ON all occasions, and hence
she wears it every day and gives it .
place even when she wears her state
jewels. Chicago Tribune.

The President Rebukes lmpu.

Ihe Rre610emt k8eOukee lmpus
dence.
Getting tired Of hearing and reading
about the "first lady in the land?" So
is the President, and it has been noted
of late, from more than one quarter, that
he is growing excessively jealous and
peevish about it. Not long since q
somewhat consequential dignitary from
across the water called on him, and after
a short season of gossip and light talk
evidently thought that he had made a
favorable impression, and ventnred to
branch off into vein of soft platitudes
about Mrs. Cleveland's reputed charms
of face and manner. He remembered
and repeated his first impressions when
looking at her picture, as reproduced
from a photograph by her American
artist, published in London illustrated
magazine, and concluded his pufferies
and batteries by begging the exquisite
pleasure of being presented to her lady
ship. The President, nettled almost be.
yond control by such impudence,
shrugged his broad shoulders, hugged
that twenty. inch collar neck of his Town
into his vest almost out of sight, turned
abruptly in his pivot-circling chair, with
his head on twist, and eyes in a stare
on the dude in front of him, who for the
first time felt that he was out of place,
and said, in tones that dazed the pre-.
suming foreigner and almost took him
from his feet:
"Sir Mrs. Cleveland is not on exhi-
bition!
OF course this settled the matter. The
dudes game (he afterwards said he didn't
care d-n about seeing the President)
was cleverly planned, but didn't work,
and after begging a thousand pardons
he bowed himself out with the poiteness
of French dancing naster.--Mihneap-

our Fruit Interests.

The rapid strides that the fruit-g grow.
ing interest is making in California is as
tonishing the world. The resident of this
valley, who has not travelled in Eastern
States, can form but . poor conclusion
of the demand that exists for our fruit
in Eastern markets. As the quality of
orchards and vineyards becomes better
known, this demand is increasing at a
rate that insures market for fruit for
all time to come.
The writer having recently come from
the States, where this demand exists,
knows what he is talking about when
he says that 1t is practically unlimited.
No later than last January the writer of
this paid 25 cents per pound for Cali
fornia dried peaches, while in the same
country Florida dried peaches were ad-
vertised at cents per pound. This
may have been an exceptional case
where the dealer or the peculiar quail.
ty of the fruit or circumstances had
much to do with the difference in price.
But that there is q marked preference
for California fruits-both canned and
dried--in Eastern markets there can be
no question, and we speak advisedly
Wuou VIC ullho t1lo dosCAttOns AO C0t
drawback heretofore has been the ex-
cessive freight charges, and the crude
manner in which our fruit has been
sent to the markets in the Elst. The
great reduction in freights, together
with the improved means Of transit
afforded by the fruit cars, and the
modes of packing being suggested by
the fruit growers organizations of this
State, will enable us to send fruit East
which can be sold at prices that will
create demand for all we can produce,
no matter if our present product is in
creased many hundred fold. Added to
the improved means of transportation,
the home demand made by our can
neries and drying houses is now almost
equal to the handling of the product at
the present time. Reduced freight
charges are also enabling the canningand
drying factories to lay their goods down
at the doors of Eastern markets at much
lower prices than formerly, and at a
profit quite as great to themselves, As
the orchards and vineyards Of this State
increase in acres and amount of produce,
the railroad companies will not be slow
to see it to to be their interest tostill lower
freight charges, while the reduced price
of the goods on the Eastern market will
afford as market we can never glut, no
matter how great the production may
be. We believe this view is exactly as
the matter stands to-day; a thorough
organization is essential to success, and
active Eastern agents will be found to
be of incalculable benefit to us in the in
PRODUCTION and sale of fruits in these
markets. As We before said, California
fruits take the preference in the Eastern
markets. The high price at which they
have been held heretofore has to great
extent crippled them in public favor. A
system of pa skiing and shipping that will
reduce this cost will increase the de.
mand as sure as to.morrOws sun will
rise. We have resided in the markets
we are writing about for many years
and know what we say to be facts.-

The Clothes of Japanese Girls,

The Clothes of Japanese Girls.
Japanese young men of fashion visit
the girls just as they do in this country,
take them out to restaurants and fill
them up with icecream. The have balls
and parties, where waltzing is INDUCED
in ad libitum. The waltz, however, is a
recent innovation, but is liked by the
Japanese exceedingly. The costumes of
the ladies in Japan are more in conson-
ance with the dress reform movement
than those of American or European
girls. First Of all. no corset is worn.
The long silk sash supplies the place of
steel and whalebone. This sash is wrap
ped round and round the waist loosely,
and the ends hang down behind. There
is no large, elaborate bow pinned against
the back like those in the representation
of the tMikado" on our stage. Some of
the ultra-fashionable girls of Toxic,
however, have adopted q method Of
making their waists look smaller, &C.
cordipg to the European modes. but no
corset is used-simply belt buckled
around the waist. The ladies are fond
of picking the strings of the banjo, and
are up to the times in fashion which
has been greatly in vogue among Amer
ican girls. A very curious fact the re.
porter CLEANED from the interpreter was
